Nope! me no likey!
Anyways, I have two options now for committing to buy the all-city,
Either pay a lump sum of 1280 euros/£931.79 including shipping to ship it here from Amsterdam for the complete bike from
http://www.singlespeed.nl/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=52_99&products_id=1606
However, because of the size and shipping cost they'll have to separate my bike into two boxes then ship them here, which I'll need to assemble myself and hope none of the parts are damage and most likely get my lbs to service it and most likely in the future I will need to convert it to a fixed gear surely.
The second options, is mosquito bikes, because all-city doesn't do a complete bike they'll need to build the bike from scratch and to get the complete set up from the website it will cost me £1300, but I will be able to buy this bike via the ride to work scheme, (of course its limited to £1000) but because this will be built from scratch it will hopefully allow me to convert it into a fixed gear rear hub straight away and customise certain parts to my liking.
Hopefully a week will be enough time to allow me to decided which route to proceed with.
Thoughts?
or the other option

WoundUp or not, I've phoned up Mosquito bikes, they can get only the frameset, but they're going to send me a quote for a complete build, if its under a grand it would be perfect as they do ride to work, but if not I'll buy it off that shop from Amsterdam.
